Share the Experience

Gravesend, the play – Share the Experience

The World Premiere Virginia tour of the play Gravesend is a multi-dimensional experience that is artistic in nature, but also provocative, educational and inspirational. In order to maximize the community development impact of the Virginia tour, a special concept called Share the Experience is being implemented to make sure as many seats as possible are filled with folks that will truly benefit from the experience and start tapping into the Pocahontas that is within them. Virginians (individuals and organizations) are asked to make donations so other deserving Virginians can share the experience of Gravesend and start connecting to the other components of The Pocahontas Project. Replenish Richmond will connect donated tickets to members of the Virginia Indian Tribes, to Virginia school districts for distribution to teachers, to Virginia public housing communities for distribution to single moms working their way up in the world, and to Virginia non-profit and faith organizations to honor special people who are making a difference in our Commonwealth. It is hoped that this concept and effort will inspire other Virginia cultural organizations to start sharing their experiences > offering experiential opportunities to deserving members of our community who might otherwise not get the chance to participate.

Share the Experience > Specific Details

Share the Experience donations will pay for each recipient to receive a $33.00 premium ticket to one of the performances of Gravesend > premium tickets include a copy of The Pocahontas Project Booklet, a full color keepsake publication about the life, legend and legacy of Pocahontas. Replenish Richmond will also work to connect Share the Experience recipients with other aspects of The Pocahontas Project that could benefit them personally and professionally.

Replenish Richmond is looking to maximize the positive impact of the Gravesend tour by filling as many as 5,000 seats with Share the Experience recipients, almost 50% of the seats available for entire tour. Share the Experience donors may choose the general background of the recipient(s) of their generosity, ultimately defined by Replenish Richmond, or may get more specific if they wish, including defining a specific person in these general categories:

Members of the Virginia Indian Tribes – choose a tribe

Virginia Schoolteacher – choose a school system

Single Moms in VA Public Housing – choose a housing community

Virginia Non-Profit organizations – choose an organization

Share the Experience > Donation Promotion

To spur early donations and speed up the process of connecting Share the Experience recipients with The Pocahontas Project, before the Gravesend tour, Replenish Richmond has created the Share the ExperienceDonation Promotion. Every $33.00 Share the Experience donation made by Saturday September 15, 2018 earns one entry in a random prize drawing to be held on Sunday September 16, 2018. As an example, a donor making a $99.00 contribution to allow three (3) deserving Virginians to see the play will receive three (3) entries in the random drawing. Currently confirmed prizes include:

(20) winners of a pair of tickets to a Gravesend performance > date/venue to be chosen by winner

(40) winners of Lunch with Pocahontas, courtesy of Replenish Richmond

Organized at 5 different popular Richmond restaurants, 8 women will join Pocahontas actress Yasmine Hassabu for a scrumptious luncheon meal and an empowering female oriented conversation wrapped around the life of Pocahontas > Each luncheon is female only – male winners must gift their prize to a female friend
